Despite its ability to survive against non-Jewish foes, the Cochin community has dwindled alarmingly in recent years. One problem is that many young Cochinese have emigrated to Israel. Another is that the colony is divided by an internecine feud between "white Jews," who are descendants of traders, and "black Jews," who the "whites" say are the descendants of converted slaves. The white Jews, whose ancestors came from Europe and Baghdad, tend to be fair-skinned, while the black Jews are darker-complexioned. White families will not allow their daughters to marry into black families. Today, few Cochin Jews believe...
Precisely how all of this will be attempted is still unclear. During the campaign, for instance, Nixon declared that the U.S. must help Israel maintain clear military superiority over the Arabs.

Terrence McNally's "Noon" is a comedy about a fag, a nymphomaniac, a male heterosexual virgin, and a whip-toting sadist couple from Westchester who find themselves thrown together in a New York loft. Leonard Melfi's "Night" is a moving poem about death. Very vile and not a little perplexing, the plays are acted to the hilt by a cast including Charlotte...
...Eisenstadt can already sense a change in the pioneering spiirt of Israel just in the 20 years of the nation's existence: "There has been some decline in spirit, but there has also been a shift in the foci of the spirit. Previously, the spirit was centered on the kibbutz. Some old-timers still feel that the only way to contribute is to be in kibbutzim, but other want to find other meaningful pioneering goals...
